Hi,
I created a custom field which is a selectbox (multiselect in admin). On the frontend i made a dropdown list where the options selected in the backend are displayed.
My question: an user can select in the dropdown 1 value.. but how do i retrieve the choisen value in other PHP template files?
Thank you guys in advance
If I understand your question correctly, you want to retrieve the chosen values for usage in your template files.
Here’s information on how to get values from other posts:

I can make the possible values displayed one a page. But not the selected one.
The code i’m using so far:
<?php
$beschikbaar = get_field('beschikbaar');
?>
<select name="beschikbaar" id="beschikbaar">
<option>Maak je keuze</option>
<?php
foreach($beschikbaar as $beschikbaar) { ?>
<option value="<?php echo $beschikbaar; ?>"><?php echo $beschikbaar; ?></option>
<?php
} ?>
</select>
I’m not sure if I understand you correctly. I created a checkbox field on the backend and adding your code to a single.php file. When selecting a value in the backend, it correctly shows my selected value.
Yes this goes well. My question is: how do I get the value as selected in the frontend (test1 in your example) retreived in another page.
Hi lepel
You should add the post ID in the get_field function: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/how-to-get-values-from-another-post/
<?php
$post_ID = 5; // this is the ID of the page which contains the values selected
$beschikbaar = get_field('beschikbaar', $post_ID);
